Specifically, how do I safely and properly clean up the '/lemmy/magick/' folder? Mine contains 44,259 files taking 405GiB in total. That is the vast majority of my humble server's 466GiB capacity. I am the only user on my instance so I don't know their source.

Another dust-up with Dansup lol...

The author of the article characterizes their findings as a vulnerability in Pixelfed, that it was treating all follow requests as approved. An update has already been released to make Pixelfed honor that setting, but the vulnerability still exists with ActivityPub in the feature itself. It gives users a false expectation of privacy, which is not safe.

Thermal runaway prevents rescue of 3 victims in crash, authorities say (www.nbcbayarea.com)

UPDATE: the battery fire obviously didn't help, but according to new reporting it turns out that the Cybertruck really did trap the victims inside.

This accident could be a scene in a horror movie.

I'm not a Tesla fan by any measure, but I edited the headline for this post. The original headline made it seem like a specific feature of the Cybertruck trapped the victims, but then the article explains it was really that the battery was burning so fiercely that the police just couldn't free them. The deadly feature of the accident was the lithium battery, which is common to many makes and manufacturers of EVs.

What if there was a health tracking device that you swallow? (pixelfed.crimedad.work)

What if there was a health tracking device that you swallow?

Smart watches and fitness bands can be cumbersome and unstylish. Instead of wearing one of these devices, why not put them in an ingestible package? From inside of you, it could probably track more health metrics than from a wrist worn platform. When it gets to the end of your digestive track, you would just take a seat on a toilet equipped with an automatic cleaning and recovery module. Or, all of the devices could be collected for refurbishment at the water treatment plant.

Don't take it personally, but landlordism is fundamentally parasitism. It's a matter of fact that private property, whether it's a townhouse or a factory, enables its owners to extract value from working people. If people personally resent landlords like your aunt, it's probably not so much because that's where the theory guides them as it is that almost everyone has had a bad experience with a landlord or knows someone who did. Landlords have earned a bad reputation.

Seems like a simple task to help verify that you are not a bot. It might also help deter applicants who are anti-communist. I guess you solved the problem for yourself by choosing a different instance.

Would you consider making a sandwich to be "cooking?" by CrimeDad in c/nostupidquestions@lemmy.world

I don't think it's cooking unless you are applying heat to cause a chemical reaction. So, making a grilled cheese sandwich counts as cooking, but a BP&J does not.

I don't think I've ever seen that symbol in a username anywhere.

To everyone who hates the concepts of landlords and rent, what counts as being a landlord? by CrimeDad in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml
[-] CrimeDad@lemmy.crimedad.work 59 points 1 year ago

A landlord is a landlord, regardless of the particular lease terms. In general, they aren't automatically good or bad. They're just people acting as rationally as anyone else with respect to their material conditions and interests.

If you're asking why they get a bad reputation, I think that's also pretty straight forward:

  • Almost everyone has had or knows someone who's had to deal with an especially neglectful or difficult landlord;
  • landlords have been engaging in notoriously greedy and abusive behavior since the industrial revolution;
  • landlords aren't doing themselves any favors they way some of them publicly brag and whine about being landlords;
  • and there's just something that isn't right about owning someone else's home and probably everyone has some faint sense of that.

Personally, I don't think that landlords should be guillotined, but housing policy that's accommodating to them is bad policy. We should be strengthening tenant protections and building new housing to the point that private landlords become practically obsolete.
